In Faustus Blackwood's absence, Aunt Zelda becomes headmistress of the Academy and high priestess of the Church of Night, but she and the other witches and warlocks quickly learn they're losing their powers without Lucifer's support. In order to maintain their magic and keep the pagans from taking over, Zelda and a few other witches decide to create a new coven. Before they can fully execute their plan, Blackwood and the pagans interfere, and Zelda is later shot and killed.
Fortunately, the dead never stay dead for long in Greendale, so once Sabrina reverses the pagans' control over the town, Zelda instructs everyone to pray to the Goddess of Hecate to regain their powers, and just like that, the coven becomes part of the Order of Hecate. Oh, and did we mention, Zelda falls in love with a badass fellow witch?
